Weschler’s definition of intelligence
Person’s global capacity to make rational decisions, deal effectively with the environment 4 act purposefully.
Spearman’s 2 factor model.
The 2 factor model has 2 components g & s
→ g - general factor which is the one core common shared by all intellectual. More highly 2 mental abilities are related, t he more g-factor they share
→ s-factor or specific factor.: The unique factor present in an intellectual activity accounting for unique aspects in the performance of a given activity
What did Thurstone’s theory of primary mental abilities state?
There is a group of factors of primary mental abilities → spatial, intellectual, perceptual,numerical, verbal, memory, verbal word, reasoning, deduction & induction abilities. These abilities overlap minimally-g factor.
Cattells model of hierarchy
→ fluid intell: innate intelligence capacity or potential to solve problems w/0 prior experiences
→ Crystallised intelligence: solving problems using prior knowledge base of educations & exp.
The model that identifies processes for info. & problem solving is called…
Information processing models
Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligences
→ intelligence is comprised of multiple components . such as logical, mathematic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, spiritual, moral, existential, spatial etc.
→ these components arenot tested adequately by traditional tests
→ Culturally unbiased assessment requires recognition of full range of diff types of intelligence
Name the correlates of intelligence
→ genetics: 40 to 80% variability
→ environment
→ breast-feeding
→ aerobic exercises are a protective factors in adults.
→ SES [high iq found whenchild adopted in a higher SES house)
→ no link or min. correlation for gender & ethnicity
Why done assess intelligence?
① To identity weakness/impairments or strengths.
② to create & identify learning environments
③ to recommend changes in the work & home environments.
What ability is most likely to be tested to cheek psychological impairments dysfunctions
Language→ the 1st thing we learn growing up that requires processing info.
‘how is premorbid iq being tested?
→ using functions or abilities insensitive to decline
→ clients achievements record is assessed
→ subtests intelligence scales least affected by impairment are point of focus.
Name the 4 weschler scales of intelligence.
① weschler adults intelligence scale - WAIS-IV(16 - 90years)
② weschler intelligence scab for children - wisc-v(6 - 16)
③ weschlen preschool/primary school intel- scale-iv (2to6)
④ wench. Abbreviated scale fee intelligence ( 6 - 89).
Standard scores by weschler:….
100, 15(sd)
What is Full scale iq?
Iq score obtained by separate abilities represented by the 4 index scores the measure of g.
Describe the weschler scales index
① verbal comprehension- using verbal material and comprehending it.
② perceptual reasoning- ability to use visual material
③ working memory: doing timed tasks using info in the short - term memory
② processing speed- quickly process t use new info.
Extent to which sample reflects the characteristics of the population from which it is drawn. Is called……….
Representativeness
